“It’s clear that we at least have a subculture of racism and antisemitism within the military, and that there are people who are willing to act out by sharing classified information or making terroristic threats against those minorities or Jewish people.” trib.al/EWiySBT

A “less confrontational approach” is laughable and frankly a disservice to all service members to say nonsense like this. Service members are quite literally afraid for their lives if they report their assault. Say the real reasons out loud. #metoomilitary #SA

Yesterday, I received disturbing reports about sexual assault at NAS Pensacola & retaliation against the women aviators speaking out against their attackers. Today, I questioned Secretary Del Toro, Admiral Gilday & General Berger on the unacceptable response from the Navy & USMC

Jordan Neely was murdered. But bc Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines + no charges. It’s disgusting.

A very proud day as we have been an advocate for this from day #1. “I’m proud to have been trained here, and I’m proud to also have been a voice for its closure”-Erin Kirk NIMMC #SemperFi #Marines #4thBN #FightTogether #TrainTogether mcrdpi.marines.mil/News/Press-Rel…

In FY22, the military received 8,942 reports of sexual assault. This is a 1% increase since FY21. However, in a survey conducted by the DOD, 35,875 service members indicated experiencing unwanted sexual contact in the past year. Only 25% of these incidents were actually reported.

Saddened to hear of LtGen Stewart’s passing. I served with him on many occasions and he was a truly wonderful person, humble man, and had a great sense of humor. It was always a good work day when General Stewart was around. Fair winds Sir. -Erin

The number of men and vet bros on #miltwitter who are proving they still don’t understand the concept of consent, SA, and SH. Not surprising, yet still🥴

Question: Why is the DOD policy on abortion critical to military readiness? Kirby: I’m really glad you asked that question…

Today, I signed an Executive Order strengthening how our military handles sexual assault and serious offenses. Ending gender-based violence has been a priority for me throughout my career. This represents a turning point for survivors of gender-based violence in the military.

It has been a long 10 years and there is still much more to be done.
